Tom Welling as Superman for a potential Smallville movie

The Big Picture Superman's had many incarnations in film and television over the course of his 86-year history, and among the more popular of those incarnations is Smallville. Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar revamped Clark Kent's origin story for the early 2000s, resulting in a series that has had lasting effects.

Smallville TV-PGDramaSuperhero A young Clark Kent struggles to find his place in the world as he learns to harness his alien powers for good and deals with the typical troubles of teenage life in Smallville, Kansas. This was a shock when it first aired, as viewers had expected Welling to finally don the Superman costume after Smallville enforced a "no tights, no flights" rule throughout its run. Furthermore, there was an official Smallville: Season 11 comic that fully explored Clark's life post-Superman while also continuing to bring in Smallville versions of popular DC characters. A Smallville movie could build on the promise of Season 11 and the finale.

A Superman Project Would Diversify the DCU's Elseworlds Banner If Smallville makes it to the big screen, it could also bolster the Elseworlds label of DC Films. Unlike the projects that Gunn and Peter Safran are developing under DC Studios, the Elseworlds labels are standalone titles that feature more grounded versions of DC characters. So far, Matt Reeves' The Batman and Todd Phillips' Joker films are the only projects under the Elseworlds label.
